However, the craft that celebrates this one thousand five hundred year old legend is threatened with extinction. In the craft workshops it is almost always old people that one sees working the bamboo skimming screens. Many of the best papermakers, honoured and promoted by the government as “living art treasures”, have already reached the age of 80 or beyond. So far, the business acumen of a few enthusiasts has saved this tradition from vanishing completely, and, at the moment, Japan is even undergoing a distinct Washi renaissance. PA P E R C U LTU RE Japanese Paper Blossoms Anew Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess … Japanese legends usually start that way too. The princess descended from heaven and taught the Japanese people in the Kansai region the art of Washi making. Very soon it turned out that it was the Goddess of Paper herself who had chosen this method of introducing “Wa Shi” – literally translated “Japanese Paper” – to the world. Until this very day, Washi has remained a legendary paper in the true sense of the word. It is as much part of the Western world’s traditional image of Japan as Geisha, Samurai and Harakiri. Japanese paper is a much soughtafter product, particularly because of its high quality. German book illustrator Veronika Schäpers, who studied the art of papermaking for some years in Japan, explains: “No chemical additives are used in the production process. In traditional European rag paper the fibres are short and thick, whereas in Japanese Washi paper they are long and thin. The papermakers can thus produce outstandingly strong, tear-resistant paper.” In addition, a different skimming process is used. The 65 fibres are arranged more uniformly in one direction and the paper’s surface is smoother. Top-quality Washi is very popular among artists, particularly book printers, lithographers and painters. The Japanese wood engraver Katsushika Hokusai acquired world fame with his Washi Paper prints of mount Fuji. The Hamburg artist Horst Janssen too, whom experts have extolled as the “Albrecht Dürer of the 20th century”, also preferred to use high-quality paper from Japan for his masterpieces. 17/04
